Kojaque joins Pulse for commercial and music video representation.
Award-winning production company Pulse has announced the signing of Kojaque to its growing global roster of directors.
This exciting new partnership follows the release of A Cowboy Song, the second chapter in a striking visual trilogy created for fellow Irish artist Kean Kavanagh.
Hailing from Cabra, Dublin, Kevin Smith, known professionally as Kojaque, is one of today’s most original multidisciplinary artists. A true DIY force, he has forged a career as a critically acclaimed rapper while simultaneously directing the majority of his own music videos. These include Town’s Dead, which earned five Shark Awards, including Best Direction and Best Music Video, as well as the recently released Eastside and The Ballad of Jackie Dandelion.
With years of filmmaking experience behind him, Kojaque has developed a bold signature style, characterised by storytelling that blends raw honesty with sharp wit. His recent trilogy for Kean Kavanagh marks a pivotal moment in his evolution as a director. The Whistle, A Cowboy Song, and Father Browns (soon to be released) centre around Pa ‘The Hips’ Campion, a down-on-his-luck Elvis impersonator and Portlaoise kit man clinging to moments of small-town glory.
With a signature mix of grit, humour and melancholy, Kojaque crafts a tender portrait of fading fame, obsession and longing.
Kojaque shared: "I'm buzzing to be joining Pulse. I know their work pushes boundaries, and that's what I love doing in my work. Whether it's music, film, or art, I’m always chasing honest stories that resonate. Teaming up with a crew that backs that vision is exactly where I want to be."
Rik Green, Global Head of Music Videos at Pulse Films, added: "I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Kojaque to Pulse. His sharp visual wit and instinctive storytelling set him apart, it’s rare to come across such a distinctive voice. He’s a phenomenal artist in every sense of the word, and we’re genuinely excited to be part of his continued evolution as a director."
